Difference between Status driven & Wealth driven games 💸👨🏻‍💼

a thread🧵

Status driven games are where everyone is each others enemy and whoever at the top is being targeted by the people at the bottom.

Wealth driven games are where everyone wins and doesn't care about how much their colleague makes. They all want to create more wealth and prosperity

The biggest test for a status-driven person is when a person below him in the hierarchy insults him or in the broader sense pulls him down. The person at the top fights at the bottom and it's a constant fight.

For wealth driven societies the biggest test is corruption. Corruption by desires & comparison. It will take one person for them to become corrupt and break the system forever. This stands true for any society that is planning to become efficient, grow, or even plan its fall.

Creating because you geniunely like creating stuff is a positive sum game*

Creating because you want to show your friends that you are a creator is a zero-sum game* because you would stop creating the day you stop getting validation.

*hard to classify them as any type of games

While its easy for everyone to say that "play wealth games" its as difficult to actually play wealth games because the human brain relies on feedback and status games have a much faster feedback loop than wealth games.

New thread every day for 30 days.

Tune in tomorrow.

Why Time(&Hope) was created as a hedge against uncertainty⏰🙏🏻

a thread🧵

DISCLAIMER

This is a very opinionated thread and not from a science perspective. It is what I think about it. I can(& probably am) be 101% wrong. I am just materializing what I have thought.

Most of things we do in life is indirectly a hedge against uncertainty. Uncertainty is our biggest fear and surrendering to uncertainty is something we don't do.

Why Shampoo is a scam🧴💆🏻‍♂️

a thread🧵

While this is only a conspiracy theory it's pretty plausible a concept that originated 100 years and some say that the beauty industry came together to make Shampoo a necessity & essential product to earn more money.

While this is only a conspiracy theory its pretty plausible

Lets talk facts!

Shampoo strips the sebum i.e the natural oils your scalp produces which in turn tells your head to produce more oils.

By over washing, you remove hair's natural conditioning and send the oil glands into a frenzy to replenish what was lost.

Why Compounding is hard to understand for the human brain🧠

a thread🧵

Linear thinking in a Non-Linear World

Our brain works and thinks in linear pattern whereas everything that happens around us and inside us happens exponentially.

It is not very intuitive for us to think in exponential forms than it is to think in linear forms.

Try it out for yourself.

We interpret linear equations much better than non linear ones.

Some people call it the LINEAR BIAS

@DailymotionUSA

The failure of @DailymotionUSA

The Poor Man's @YouTube

a thread🧵

I have only been to Dailymotion only a couple of times in my 10 years of using the Internet & probably you have a similar story too. We have all gone to YouTube for creating, publishing, and viewing videos. There are reasons for this.

1. Failed to Monetize

Dailymotion failed to monetize its content for itself and the creators. They could not implement proper ways to monetize the content that's been created and out of many reasons one of them is the policy or the tolerance to inappropriate content.

Why Cricket🏏 is not our national🇮🇳 sport

a thread🧵

National sports/games are decided at the time of Independence.

Hockey🏑 was the most popular game at that time. It is that sport that brought us respect, fame & popularity as a country. It is what put us on the map in terms of Sporting events.

India is also one of the countries where Hockey originated and it made(&still makes)sense to have a sport that is born in the country than to replace it with a sport which is from a different region.

Basically, it's sticking to the roots.
